Thank you!

My heart hurts for those impacted by the recent synagogue attack in Detroit. Condeming Anti-semitism is a start, but I'd like to see more substantive action towards combating religious hate from leaders at every level of government.

Shout out to @shiakapos.bsky.social for consistently reporting on the influence of AIPAC in my race for Congress and in other IL primaries in the Chicago area. #aipac #politics #Illinois www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Another great feature from @chicagotribune.com! www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/23/b...

Ramadan Mubarak! May this holy month of Ramadan be filled with blessings and joy! ✨ #Ramadan

Progressive. Young Candidate. Tangible Experience. Thanks @chicagotribune.com, I'll take it! 💪🏾

And the youth shall lead us! #ICE #chicago #Illinois share.google/HAHQhpWmBEbn...

Still thinking about that incredible Bears win this past weekend! 🏈 Mood all week: #BearsNation #NFL #winning

I was a congressional staffer when the Jan. 6th Insurrection occurred and I remember being so concerned for the welfare my colleagues who barricaded themselves in their offices. As we've learned this past year, Democracy is a fragile thing and we must all do our part, big or small, to protect it.

May this 1st night of Hanukkah be filled with joy and time spent with those you hold dear! #Hanukkah #Congress

In the last 24 hours, we've seen two devastating mass shootings take place both here and abroad. Once again, college students are left feeling less safe on-campus and those celebrating Hannukah in Australia are met with heartache. My heart goes out to the impacted families.

Earlier this week, my ordinance banning ICE from Village-owned property passed! 🎉 I don't just talk about being a fighter, I actually am one and I work hard to get things done. You can expect the same fire and drive out of me in the halls of Congress. #HanoverPark #Congress

Yesterday in Hanover Park, we welcomed back Officer Bojovic after ICE unlawfully detained him in Oct. I'm grateful for his commitment to serving our community, as I remain committed as a Trustee to protect our residents and employees and ensure that their rights remain intact.

Working people deserve a champion in Congress who will fight for our unions - not against them. I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Elk Grove Village Professional Firefighters Union Local 2340 who represents courageous, hardworking firefighters that keep our communities safe.

Last night's NYC mayoral election showed that when you focus on working people and improving their lives in a meaningful way, you succeed! Proud to be a pro-labor candidate for Congress! ✊🏾 #UnionStrong #NALC #work #election2025

Do you hear that?! That's the blue wave coming in! 🌊🌊🌊 #Prop50 #Virginia #NewJersey #Mamdani #NYC #Election

I am so honored to have the endorsement of the iconic civil rights leader, progressive activist, pastor and former Member of Congress Bobby Rush!

Earlier this morning in Springfield, we filed almost 3,000 signatures to get onto the ballot! Thank you to many volunteers who door knocked and gathered signatures over the past several months. You helped make this day a reality. Thank you. #Congress

My statement on the ICE arrest of our Hanover Park police officer:

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and enduring traditions of our Indigenous communities.

It has filled me with hope to watch videos and see photos of Palestinian and Israeli families reuniting under the ceasefire and hostage exchange. Today, there is hope, but I recognize that the fight for accountability and justice is long from over. May there be lasting peace.

My statement on the Gaza ceasefire plan:

Today is the anniversary of the horrific October 7th terrorist attack during the celebrations of Simchat Torah and the Nova music festival. Over 1000 people were killed and hundreds were taken hostage.

I am grateful to those who serve in the National Guard, but their forced presence onto our state and into our communities has already been ruled, by a federal judge, to be unlawful. www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Thank you Chicago City Clerk Anna Valencia for your support and endorsement! Clerk Valencia has been a steadfast leader focused on government services with equity, accessibility, and efficiency at the forefront. I couldn’t be more grateful for her support!

I am incredibly honored to have received the endorsement of the Hoffman Estates Professional Firefighters Local 2061. To have the support of members of both our labor and public safety community is a great privilege and I’m honored to have their trust. #IL08 #labor

L'Shana Tovah to my Jewish friends and neighbors. Wishing you a meaningful New Year! ✨

From the attacks on our free speech to the alarming ICE activity throughout the Chicagoland area this week, my soul is weary. But we'll continue to persevere, stand up and demand a better tomorrow. #WeDeserveBetter

Thank you NALC Branch 2076 for your endorsement! In Congress, I will ensure our labor community always has a seat at the table and I am committed to continuing to be a fierce advocate for letter carriers. #NALC #lettercarriers #unionstrong

A thorough overview, including more information about Operation Midway Blitz. Remember: Know Your Rights, look out for one another, and stay up-to-date on information from state and local officials. Stay safe and stay strong. #OperationMidwayBlitz tinyurl.com/y9rjtwb3

Our campaign was recently endorsed by @collegedemocrats.bsky.social and the College Democrats of Illinois, the official student arms of the Democratic Party!

Another mass shooting. Another heartbreak. In 2022, when I introduced an ordinance that would ban the sales of assault weapons in Hanover Park, I did so because I believed that mass shootings were not normal. May we all turn our grief and pain into action and results. #Minn

I’m running for Congress to be the next generation of leadership Illinois needs, and I am so honored to have Senator Dick Durbin support. If you believe, like I do, that it is time for a new generation of bold and experienced leaders, I hope you will support my campaign today!

Having Senator Durbin’s trust to deliver for Illinois has been an incredible honor! I’m ready to carry on his legacy of lowering costs for the working-class, defending our communities, and making life better for Illinoisans! #IL08 #DickDurbin

A weekend full of organizing throughout the district! My sincere thanks and gratitude to all the volunteers and friends alike who joined us!

From the article: "The loss of union protections is 'just another way to make life miserable for the employees who are left'". Our public servants deserve the ability to negotiate for better pay and benefits. Congress must pass the PRO Act. #StandUp4Labor www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

As a result of rising interest rates and chaotic tariff polices, 71 large companies went bankrupt last month, which is the highest monthly total since the pandemic. Bankruptcy leads to less jobs, which leads to less stable households. This should concern all of us. #EconomicBlues #Congress

This deeply alarming photo has stopped me in my tracks. We must continue to shine a light on ALL injustices. I call on the U.S., Isreal and those in the international community to ensure that humanitarian aid is reached and safely distributed in Gaza. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Thank you to the law enforcement agencies that prevented this would-be tragedy from occurring in Glendale Heights. This is Islamophobia in real time. It's hateful and dangerous and end lives. It must always be strongly condemned. share.google/rhCQr0STuEPT...

Incredibly proud to receive the endorsements of these wonderful elected officials, who work hard to meet the needs of those they serve. All endorsements received thus far can be viewed on our website: share.google/FihusIpnJAC5...

My heart truly goes out to the many people impacted by the flooding in Texas. I know that there's different ways to help, but one organization I'm currently supporting is World Central Kitchen. They've been on the ground and delivering meals to those in need. wck.org/news/texas-u...

Happy birthday, America! Had a great time marching in parades in Bartlett and Hoffman Estates. #4thofJuly 🇺🇸

We deserve better than this.

Thank you to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for working through the night to shine a bright light on the grave injustices found in the "big, beautiful bill". We deserve a government that works to help people, not hurt people. We deserve better.

It's been an incredible first full month on the campaign trail and I'm so grateful for all the support and love that's been shown to our campaign! (1/2)

Had a blast the National Association of Letter Carriers Convention in Springfield today! I spent five years overseeing Sen. Durbin's USPS portfolio for the state of IL and I know the service that letter carriers provide is vital. #NALC #lettercarriers #Springfield

ICYMI: I'm proud to share that our campaign has secured the 1st union endorsement in this race! “IBEW 701 is proud to endorse Yasmeen Bankole for Congress in Illinois' 8th Congressional District.” said IBEW Local 701 Business Manager Anthony Giunti. #IBEW #labormovement #unionstrong💪🏾
